attention: this show is performed mainly in French and with Dutch surtitles.
Malgré tout is a chronicle of then and now. An examination of the abyss of humanity, where the fight to survive or not to be killed determines the order of the day. What remains when the layer of civilisation is each time sanded off? The result is cruel and funny at the same time.
Malgré tout borrows from several disciplines and is a hybrid and satirical object, just like Jours Historiques. In this earlier creation of the company, Gondwana, an imaginary African state, colonises Belgium. The play has several sources: first, Aurelie Di Marino and Starlette Mathata's meeting in Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), where the actresses discover that their very different lives intersect. Secondly, Curzio Malaparte's novel La pelle (the skin).
This new work is steeped in current geopolitics: the trade in diamonds and sex of women against the backdrop of a civil war. But it soon forges links with Europe and its history. Under the guise of farce, shadows and fascism lurk.
